Baker Hughes, an energy technology company, announced an award from Technip Energies to supply a steam turbine generator along with critical centrifugal compression equipment for the Blue Point Number One Ammonia Project in Modeste, Louisiana, U.S. The facility, a joint venture between CF Industries, Mitsui & Co., and JERA, is set to be the world’s largest low-carbon ammonia plant with a nameplate capacity of approximately 1.4 metric MMtpy. The order was booked in the third quarter of 2025.

Baker Hughes’ critical technology solutions will enable the Blue Point Number One Ammonia Project to produce blue ammonia through an autothermal reforming (ATR) process along with an integrated CCS system designed to sequester up to 2.3 MMtpy of carbon dioxide (CO₂). Baker Hughes’ scope includes a range of compressors, including an ammonia compressor, a syngas compressor, a recycle compressor, and a CO₂ compressor, to deliver the captured CO₂ to geological storage via pipeline, as well as a steam turbine-driven BRUSH™ Power Generation generator.

Ammonia is recognized for its potential as a low-carbon energy source and increasingly vital for achieving decarbonization goals in hard-to-abate sectors, including agriculture, power and marine. Through Baker Hughes’ differentiated technology portfolio, the company provides integrated solutions that address the demanding specifications of complex, large-scale projects.

"Ammonia, as a lower-carbon energy source, is poised to play a pivotal role in enabling and accelerating global sustainable energy development," said Alessandro Bresciani, senior vice president of Energy Equipment at Baker Hughes.“ As ammonia expands from agricultural and chemical use to a global commodity for energy, we are proud to support the scaling of it with our proven technology solutions for one of the world's largest low-carbon ammonia projects."

The ATR ammonia production facility will be constructed at CF Industries’ Blue Point Complex in Louisiana, and the project will permanently store up to 2.3 MMtpy of CO₂ in a Class VI well.

Construction of the ammonia production facility is expected to begin in 2026, with low-carbon ammonia production expected in 2029.
